Savory Cookies, Ok we can call them Crackers
Parmesan Thyme Crackers inspired by Blue Cheese and Walnut Crackers
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups of AP Flour
3 teaspoons of kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
16 oz of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons of dried thyme
Cheddar Paprika Crackers
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups of AP Flour
3 teaspoons of kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons of paprika
In the bowl of a mixer cream together the butter and the cheese until smooth. In a bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper, and spice and stir to combine. On low speed add in the flour mixture and mix until combined. You may need to add a little water depending on your dough, start with 1 tablespoon. Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and press into a disk, divide that disk in half. And form each half into a log about 1 inch around. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 days. Or place them in a freezer bag and freeze, then just let thaw overnight in the fridge and 30 minute at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350. Slice the logs into 3/8th inch rounds and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 -22 minutes until they just start to brown. Cool on a wire rack and serve.
